There's nothing like growing up in a relationship that you've outgrown. Getting in a committed relationship at an early age gave my guest Natasha a dose of what it's like to be married. But was it real love? Spending years in a relationship where she felt trapped and plagued by the pressures of not being able to leave she dealt with narcissistic behaviors, suicidal ideations and recognizing that she has more to offer. It's a very honest conversation and I learned a lot and appreciate everything Natasha had to share. Tune in and listen! XO

You read that right, I am sitting down with some friends to talk about all the lies men have been telling them. Shekima, who you might know from season two stopped by with her friend Sherrie to share their stories and talk about all the lies! It's not easy to put yourself out into the dating pool and it isn't fun when you're getting met with lies after lies. It's enough to want you to give up all together, we find ourselves still rooting for love and wondering what has to change? Join us for some unbelievable lies and some straight up honesty that we all need to hear! XO 

This week we welcomed author and fellow podcaster Mick Smith. He shares details from his new book, Burning America: In the Best Interest of the Children? The novel was inspired by similar experiences but also from the experiences many men face when dealing with a child custody case. Mick highlights different parts of his book as we discuss the battle that can take place when a child is taken from the other parent. We went over a lot and there's still so much more information Mick shares in his newest novel. Make sure to check it out and don't forget to grab a copy!

I got to sit down this week and have an intimate conversation with friend and mental health therapist Shauna Ruda.

Listening to Danielle's journey towards self love had me recognizing that there's always room for growth. We don't always know how to love ourselves and having this conversation is so important.

I'm excited for you to listen and hope you leave loving yourself a little more. XO

Pretty sure you have a ton of great guesses. I contemplated putting the details in the title because here I am getting uncomfortable and trying to save us all from the way it makes us feel. STIs and specifically HSV, or as we all know it as herpes can be an awkward topic to bring up. My guest shares her experience with contacting HSV and how she dealt with it and all the stigma that comes with it. I learned so much in this conversation and think it's a topic we need to explore and learn to ask more questions about. Do you agree? Tune in and let me know what you think! XO

The ambiance, the warmth of good people and the sexual chemistry makes this summer romance one to remember. Who else is ready for summer? XO

If you tuned into our first episode you may have gotten to hear some of this story. Laura got into a serious relationship at a really young age and fell into a pattern of dating narcissists who never put her first and allowed her to believe that this is what a relationship should be. There was a lot of soul searching and recognizing that she had to unlearn a lot of things. It's been a journey of self love, relearning, growing and creating a relationship she is proud of. It was such a great conversation and I can't wait for you to hear it! XO

Sex, psycho, love and me is back for Season 3! I got out of my comfort zone for this one!

I can't think of a better way to end this season then with my friend Janey. I absolutely laughed my heart out with this girl and loved getting to know her and her adventurous spirit. She shares her not so typical love story, some hilarious experiences and how she embraces her sexuality and being so sex positive. We had a lot of fun and I can't wait for you to tune in and listen! XO

When you know, you know. Meeting and falling in love with a soulmate can be life changing and sharing such a powerful bond is something some of us wish we could have. For my guest, Romiletha being surrounded by this kind love growing up was something she knew she always wanted. When she fell in love the first time it was instant but not perfect. It wasn't until she met her true soulmate that she got to experience what it was like to love and be loved. Then, the unimaginable happened and her life was turned upside down. Feeling broken and not sure if she can love again, Romiletha shares what it's been like for her after losing her soulmate. It was heartbreaking and relatable in so many ways. I can't wait for you to tune in and listen. XO 

I forget how delicate dating can be when you've never done it before, much less been allowed to do it. Raised in the Bible Belt, my guest Shekima spent a huge part of her life waiting for the One because that is what she was taught. Suppressing feelings, never being able to enjoy a crush or even wear pants she waited and waited and waited. 

I don't want to spoil it for you because there is a ton of truth, vulnerability and badass growth in this episode! My only regret is stopping the recording too soon with Shekima! We spoke for another 4 hours about dating and I needed it! So grateful for you lady! Check it out, you won't want to miss this! XO

If you've ever gotten married young, you may be able to relate to this week's guest. I'm grateful for Carissa's candidness.

Carissa shares what's she's learned and how her new love is opening her up to feeling her feelings, being vulnerable and learning to love as an adult. It's a great conversation you don't want to miss! XO

There's a lot of growth and understanding that one can go through after a divorce. You don't always know what to do next or what will happen from there. My guest and friend Toby shares her story of how the universe aligned itself after her marriage ended and brought her love and a renewed spirit. 

She randomly met a guy, got to know him under the unusual circumstances brought on by COVID, learned what it was like to have a true friend in her partner and gave herself permission to be open to change and take her business to the next level. She's made the best of challenging times and stayed positive through it all, setting herself up to succeed and make some of her dreams come true in the process. It's inspiring, so be sure to take a listen! XO

I had so much fun getting all the details about my friend Hunter's love life! We are both romantics at heart and bonded over our mutual love for the opposite sex and reminisced on having our first crushes at the early age of 5. Ah, those were the days!

He's been through some tough breakups, battled addiction, been in a super toxic relationship and experienced heartache after heartache. Ignacio has found himself having zero expectations. We got real personal about some of this and still found some humor and hope in the end. I just hope love find this guy again and show's him what he's missing. I hope you're ready for some hard truth about the work that goes into being in a relationship. Enjoy! XO
